Superpower: The domineering president is my wife.

In the spacious banquet hall, there were originally 30 exquisitely decorated round tables placed at random, with number plates from "1" to "30" placed in sequence.

The round tables are separated by carved screens, which can ensure a certain degree of privacy without affecting the beauty of the venue.

At this time, a new round table with the number plate "0" was added in the center of the corresponding booth in the banquet hall.

Although from the decoration point of view, it is no different from the other 30 round tables around it.

But anyone who is familiar with the rules of Huasheng Auction House knows that this "No. 0" table is usually added when someone with a prominent status temporarily participates in the auction.

And tonight, since the "No. 0" table that has not been seen for a long time is placed in the center of the banquet hall, it means that there will definitely be some important people present.

Those auction guests who had arrived early in the morning were already curious about the owner of table "No. 0".

Although they knew that everyone was wearing masks and it was impossible to see each other's faces clearly, Mu Qiang's curiosity still drove them to look towards the center of the banquet hall.

And when Qin Xiao led Dai Xi and Feng Yan to table "0" and sat down, there was a burst of whispers in the venue.

But fortunately, those who were invited to participate in tonight's auction were not mediocre people who had never seen the world. Although everyone was curious, they did not venture forward to talk.

"Third Master, Young Madam, Third Master Qiao, this is the list of items for the charity auction in the first half of tonight." Qin Xiao took a stack of albums from the men behind him and handed them to the three of them respectfully.

Dai Xi opened the album in her hand and scanned the auction information and introductions. She saw that, as Feng Yan had said, except for the eye-catching sapphire crown, there was nothing eye-catching.

Just when she was lamenting that tonight would be very boring, her eyes were attracted by the jet-black bracelet on the last page of the album.

"Do you like this?" Feng Yan saw that her eyes were still on it, so he leaned forward and whispered in her ear.

"What is this? Why is the lot information column empty?" Dai Xi's white fingertips pointed at the blank lot information column next to the lot picture and asked doubtfully.

"What's going on with this lot?" Feng Yan also noticed it at this time, turned to look at Qin Xiao who was standing behind him, and asked quietly.

"Back to Third Master, Madam! This lot was unexpectedly acquired by a young appraiser from the auction house. Although it is beautifully made, the value cannot be accurately assessed because of the unknown material.

Therefore, in the previous auctions, they all failed.

But because of this appraiser, the price paid for this lot was not low.

In order to reduce losses, the auction house placed it in the last position as the auction item for tonight's charity auction. "Qin Xiao moved to stand behind Dai Xi and Feng Yan, and explained in a low voice.

"Do you know who received this appraiser from?" Dai Xi continued to ask.

"For specific details, you need to ask the appraiser himself. I don't know the details. I just saw from the reported information that he is an old man who does not want to be named.

They said it was a family heirloom and offered a price of 10 million.

Although the appraiser was able to confirm that it was an old item, he was still unable to determine the material, so he finally lowered the price to 350 million. "Qin Xiao replied.

"What's the starting price for this bracelet tonight?" Feng Yan asked in a low voice.

"One million..." When Qin Xiao said this quotation, he lowered his head in shame.

"Why is it so cheap?" Dai Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Um..." Qin Xiao said embarrassedly, "Back to Madam, this bracelet has failed to sell at our auction house several times. It's really... a bit unpriced. Already..."

"Oh." Dai Xi nodded thoughtfully.

"If you like, I'll take the photo for you later." Feng Yan tilted his head and smiled, saying in a gentle tone.

Because the auction is about to begin, most of the invited guests have arrived, and everyone has a list of the auction items. At this time, it is too late to remove the items.

So we can only wait until the auction starts before bidding.

Let’s not talk about this bracelet. It belongs to the auction house. No matter how much the bid is today, it is just a formality for them.

Even if this bracelet was the grand finale of the auction today, he would take it for her at all costs.

"Hmm~ I can't say how much I like it..." Dai Xi pursed her lips, as if she was thinking about something, "I just vaguely feel that... the material of this thing seems to be the same as my pendant. Much like..."

"Pendant?" Feng Yan was surprised.

"Well, it's a pendant with my name engraved on it. When I was brought back to the base by Master, he named me based on the word "xi" engraved on the pendant. "Dai Xi said thoughtfully.

"Xiao Xi, my mother seems to have one of the bracelets in the album..." While Dai Xi was still looking carefully at the bracelet in the album, Qiao Nanxiu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said.

"What?" Dai Xi tilted her head and looked at him with confusion.

"That's it...this bracelet, my mother seems to have an exact same one..." Qiao Nanxiu also looked at the album with a deep eye, and repeated it again with some uncertainty.

"You mean, these bracelets were originally a pair?" Dai Xi raised her eyebrows and suddenly became interested, "Third brother, are you sure?"

"It should...can't be wrong..." Qiao Nanxiu frowned, "But I saw this thing once in my mother's safe when I was little.

She said that these are the thoughts left to her by her grandma and grandpa. She should keep them well and give them to you as a dowry when you get married later..."

When he said this, his eyes glanced at Feng Yan who was next to Dai Xi, and he snorted in dissatisfaction.

"But, what about the item that will be auctioned tonight?" Dai Xi ignored his little awkwardness and continued to ask.

"I don't know about that." Qiao Nanxiu shrugged, "It's just... If I remember correctly, the seal on the pendant below our mother's bracelet should be lotus, and the one on the picture should be lotus." This bracelet has Pisces engraved on the pendant below."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to somewhere on the album, tapping it lightly.

Dai Xi's eyes followed his finger, and sure enough, she could vaguely see the Pisces pattern engraved on the small pendant.

"Qin Xiao, please ask someone to retrieve the surveillance video of when the appraiser purchased this bracelet." Feng Yan waved to Qin Xiao behind him and ordered him in a low voice.

"Yes, Third Master! I'll send someone to check right now!"
